Yeah, I know!

The guy needs a period correct intake for a 273 stock racing car and the RPM AirGap is right at the top of my wish list!

did you see the black one I picked up - man I can't wait to get that going!

I must have missed that post. Does your wife know you picked up a black one? And is she alright with you 'getting that going?'

[ScampMike]

LOL - ....can't be friggin' careful enough...

 

[halifaxhops]

Buzz words my friend. You should have been here lift day even my wife was starting in the comments.

Best to simply keep it shut.

I guess I'll be on the lookout for some 1.6 rockers in the classifieds.

 

[halifaxhops]

Anders you have anything like craigslist there?

 

[krazykuda]

So how is Karl today?

I'm ok. A little tired as I was up trying to figure out some things for Eddie's engine.

 

[halifaxhops]

You don't need anything off a 66 belvedere do you?

I've got this great - I hope - swap going on.

I can swap my LD4B for an Edelbrock RPM AirGap. Along with that I can get a set of magnum heads for $150. On top of that I've just bought a milder cam. 228/231@50, 0.450/0.455 lift in stead of 238/238@50, 0.474/0.474 lift.

I'm hoping this will make my 360 the low-end torque monster I hope for.

Maybe I should get 1.6 rockers to increase lift? That would make the smaller cam 0.480/0.485 lift.

Or maybe just go with Rhoades lifters and the cam I already have?

I would keep the LD4B and go with the rhoades lifters and the cam that you have.

[ScampMike]

[ScampMike]

Lookey a real barn find!

Hell yes, just got it to part out. Need to get under it I think it is a 7 1/4 with bbp axels. It came factory with 15" wheels special order. Hoping a track lok or something in it.

There are no safe words my friend. Every statement made on Hoppy's porch was greeted by some wise-*** comment...
